CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Just when I think I’m done reviewing TWS earbuds, I get offered another pair and I just can’t say no because I’m always wondering if there is another pair out there that sound better, feel more comfortable, etc. That’s why I said “sure!” when the folks at SOUNDPEATS asked me if I’d …
REVIEW – Okay, a bag or backpack is technically not a gadget—I get that. But you gotta carry your stuff (gadgets included) in something, so I’m reviewing a new something to do just that— the Executive Leather Messenger Bag from Waterfield Designs. What is it? The Executive Leather Messenger Bag is the successor to …
REVIEW – Most of us are trying to be a little more health-conscious these days. Usually, eating healthier means giving up fried foods. But, they are oh, so delicious! Air frying otherwise deep-fried foods helps make them healthier by significantly reducing, and in some cases, eliminating the oil or fat used to fry. OK – …
REVIEW – So I have to admit that as soon as I read about the RavPower 6-Port USB Charger Filehub I was interested and wanted to test it.

REVIEW – As my quest continues to find enough feature-filled, versatile and capable power banks that can support my powering/charging needs for my devices when shooting videos/photos on location or keeping them up and running during a storm, I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to test and review another candidate that seems quite …
CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – When you are choosing EDC gear, what criteria do you use? Does the tool have to be small enough to fit your pocket? Multi-use functionality? Rugged? Easy to use?

REVIEW – When I am on location for a photo or video shoot, I have a strict practice of backing up all of my media before I leave so that I have redundancy just in case of any mishap. For years I have done this using portable hard drives that have been plug and play …

REVIEW – I try to walk at least 7000 steps a day for a minimum level of activity and to earn points for insurance incentives for my day job at Cummins Inc. The app I use tracks steps by using the sensors in my phone, but I always seem to leave my phone sitting on …
REVIEW – I am a warm-natured person and I work in a very busy office cubicle environment these days. With going from cube to cube, meeting with various people in my area and with this extremely warm summer, it gets tough to stay cool most days. I had found a nice cool empty office to …
REVIEW – I’m what can be politely described as a “flashlight aficionado” or as my wife like to say, “you have too many flashlights.” Well, what’s one more? The Nitecore NM01 Flashlight is an excellent addition to my flashlight zoo. It uses an LED emitter, features multiple power levels, and is long running and rechargeable. …
REVIEW – I have been on the search for some comfortable wireless earbuds for a while. I have very small ear canals. Earbuds that have the best specs in the world, won’t work for me if my ears start to hurt after a few minutes. I also wanted completely wire-free earbuds so that some cord …
REVIEW – Through the years, we’ve taken various measures to clean things that require a delicate wash – whether it’s using a toothbrush to clean jewelry, hand washing delicate fabrics or hand scrubbing cast iron with gentle brushes to make sure not to affect the seasoning.
